I don’t need an SPM slap in the face after all
Thunder roared and fire blazed as my eyeballs fell off the SPM result slip, having rolled down a stream of As.
Yes, that certainly was one of the few flabbergasted moments that hit me this year. Can you imagine that initially I was hoping for bad results in order to motivate myself? Only recently has this reasoning fell on my head like a meteor - that I don’t need an SPM slap in the face to feel motivated.
You know, things often click into place when one least expects it. The torrent downloading skills I acquired from my 4th uncle proved to be yielding more than entertainment mingled with platitude. I recently downloaded a number of audio books, wonders of technology that enables one to ceaselessly absorb knowledge while resting the eyes. These books were most helpful, among them are books that teach Russian, books that improve Verbal skills, the complete audio book set of the Chronicles of Narnia, and my favorite, an audio book about motivation.
50 new insightful thoughts were received upon completion of listening to the audio book about motivation. The sequence and simplicity of the way the motivational materials were presented made paradigm changing quite easy.
Anyway, recently I have the motivation to run a little psychological experiment on doing tiny misdeeds. It seems that a certain degree of evil is needed in one’s life in order to balance the good, or is it? I happen to believe that everyone is not designed to be perfect, but rather the occasional tiny misdeeds seem to be able to give more meaning to the good one does. Coincidently, the Star newspaper in its heart and soul weekly article section today advocates nastiness, so let’s be nasty ladies and gentlemen.. wahaha.
Well. To believe that we’re either pure evil or pure good, is to see the world in black and white, let’s just accept that we as human beings are well, brown.. grey? lolz
As ironic as it sounds, it sometimes feels right to do the wrong thing. And that was this experiment’s result. Personally, I think making mistakes are all part and parcel of growing up be it physically or mentally. In a sense then, it is essential. Skipping it would be to jeapordize our own capacity to grow and mature. Like learning how to walk or ride a bike, it is unrealistic to expect an instant hop on mastery, instead, its better to fall down a few times and success would readily present itself.
Right now, my motivation comes from my desire to improve myself. For that I really have the people around me to thank, for you guys give me inspirations in ways beyond my wildest imaginations. Thank you.
I don’t need an SPM slap in the face, I just need to log on to friendster.
